German minister calls out Ivanka Trump over 'nepotism'

German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel is suggesting Ivanka Trump's White House role reminds him of "nepotism."

On Saturday, Gabriel spoke to multiple German regional papers about the Trump family. According to Zee News, he said, "The mix of politics with family and business reminds us instead of nepotism and would be unimaginable here."

His comments come just days after Trump was invited to Berlin by German Chancellor Angela Merkel to take part in a women's empowerment summit.
